We stayed overnight at Natural Bridges National Monument, one of my favorites. A really nice ranger led a stargazing program that we attended with other campers. Unfortunately, her efforts were somewhat hampered by cloudy skies.
In the morning around 6:00 AM we awoke to a monsoon-like downpour. (It was really loud on our tent fly.) Luckily, the weather tends to change quickly here so we did a morning hike up Mule Canyon to see the House on Fire Ruin. If you Google a picture of this place, you’ll see why it has that name. The overhanging rock has colors and patterns that look like flames. Very cool.
If James Taylor had spent the day with us, he might have said: “I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain.”
